In June 2013, 42 new COST actions were approved. See list below.
The objective of the COST actions is to support collaboration and networking in specific fields of research. Iceland can nominate two representatives for each project. Katrin Valgeirsdottir at Rannis is the COST contact in Iceland and can provide all further information.
